    Summary

    Twenty eight year old Carol Sturka is an aspiring author, presently working a temp position at Brooks & Bennet Law Offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She's also a self-proclaimed misanthrope, insulted by romance, holding firm in her assertion that to need another person is weakness, and to want them is even worse. So, literally running face first into the most gorgeous woman she's ever seen is maybe the worst case scenario. It's about to be her lucky day.

    Helen Umstead is being careful. She understands all too well what it is to have your life feel completely out of your control, and she isn't about to let it happen again. She finally has a real job, with room for forward momentum, and her own apartment. She can manage the subtle chaos of daily life, and she feels stable for the first time ever. So, that restlessness nagging at her from the pit of her stomach, waking her up at all hours of the night, really isn't helpful. The monotony is what's best for her, or at least that's what she tells herself. Getting involved with the whirlwind that is Carol Sturka is a risk. A big one. And she just might have to take it.

    TLDR: Baby sturstead desperately tries not to fall in love (three guesses how that turns out)

    Summary

    For the first time since the Zone came to be, a researcher who did not carry a passport of one of the Eastern Commonwealth member-states had crossed the brutalistically opulent threshold of the Alferov's Institute for Anomalous Research. Some sensationalist outlets, mostly ones west of the River Oder and East of the hump of Kamchatka, dubbed it the most significant feat of scientific cooperation between East and West since the Souz-Apollo orbital docking. Within the Commonwealth excitement appeared somewhat differently - the City saw a slightly increased amount of jolly fit men with thick moustaches, and a tendency to move in groups of two or five. They were not behaving like a usual Trash on the beat, though.

    And so, as ever, even if people whom Yura Beletsky could call friends kinda knew what was going on, most of them, and chiefly him, could not be bothered to give a shit. There was a party in the Molodzyozhny this evening, as ever.

    Summary

    They say you can’t walk into Mordor. Veronica never meant to walk into the story at all. When a tragic accident sends the English teacher—and devoted Faramir enthusiast—tumbling from her world into Middle-earth, she is given a new name, Nicariel, and a dangerous secret to keep. Armed with foreknowledge of the War of the Ring and a scholar’s love for the gentle Captain Faramir, she believes she knows how the tale must unfold.

    Her plans shatter at the Council of Elrond. To steer fate away from disaster, she exposes Boromir’s hidden temptation, branding herself both seer and adversary. Forced together on the Fellowship’s desperate quest, Nicariel and Boromir clash in a relentless battle of wills—each a living insult to the other’s deepest convictions.

    But the road to Mordor strips away certainties. The noble Faramir is her dream made flesh, yet it is the proud, flawed, and infuriatingly compelling Boromir who challenges her at every turn, forcing her to question the very narrative she swore to protect.

    Condemned for Wanting Both is a sweeping, emotionally charged fantasy about destiny, desire, and the cost of rewriting legend. The fate of Middle-earth is written. The fate of her heart is not.

    Summary

    for thirty seconds, you’re not where you were.
    wrong room, wrong perspective, wrong body.

    it was the kind of thing easier to rationalise than believe, until someone else recognises it too.

    chrollo lucilfer.

    a man whose name alone is enough to reroute operations. the very kind of person your work exists to avoid. the kind who, somehow, ends up sitting across from you anyway.
    eventually, you agreed to an assessment. but somewhere between the lines, you suspected you’d agreed to far more.

     

    or, you soulmate-bond with one of the worst possible candidates and he decided you’re worth looking into

    Summary

    In a universe still reeling from battles that shaped destiny, Gohan faces a turning point. Wrestling with the legacies of his father, Goku, and the turbulent past of his world, Gohan’s journey is marked by inner struggles, complicated loyalties, and a search for purpose amid lingering scars. As mysterious new threats ripple across realities, Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta—alongside a new presence, Solon—are forced to confront not just enemies, but the shadows within their own bonds. Old rivalries and friendships are tested, while unexpected alliances emerge in the face of challenges that defy simple notions of good and evil. In this landscape, softness becomes a source of power, and the struggle for self-acceptance is as urgent as any cosmic battle. Dragon Ball Super Groundbreaking is an epic of resilience, identity, and the unbreakable threads that tie warriors together—even when family itself becomes a battlefield. In a multiverse held together by trust and sacrifice, every choice matters, and Gohan’s quiet strength may hold the key to survival.

    Or... What if DB took its JTTW roots seriously—but with a Superman twist, accidental philosophy majors, and cosmic crises solved by plushies and parental issues?

    Summary

    Everyone has their demons.
    Everyone has their secrets.

    Nobody is without their share of wrongdoings.
    Nobody is without their guilty pleasures.

    No matter how perfect one may seem to the naked eye, it's always an illusion.
    No matter how well a certain image is projected, there's always more hiding underneath the surface.

    The Sullys have fled to Awa'atlu escaping death and destruction, but darkness still looms over them.
    The royals of the Metkayina offer them aid full of kindness, but they aren't without their own dark battles to deal with.

    Summary

    When Avery arrives in Sandrock in the aftermath of one of the worst days of Lucy’s life, the last thing she needs is someone tactlessly sweeping in to tell everyone what to do, adding insult to literal injury. But the more she gets to know him, the more she’s forced to admit that she actually would like him to tell her what to do. In a very specific context. Provided it’s what she wanted to do already.

    Summary

    "...the royal magic was once considered Euchronia's greatest deterrence to invasion, particularly during transfers of power. No less, the state army's numbers are thinner than they've ever been, leadership is in shambles, and the most advanced warship in possession of the crown was not only stolen, but then reduced to a pile of rubble in the desert."

    He could feel everyone's burning gazes on him. This needed to conclude quickly, lest he make things worse, but he had no real solution in sight.

    ...

    Damn it all, if only he could operate the teleporter on Will's gauntlet runner himself, he could have some of these managed in a matter of days.

    At the behest of his king, Strohl finds himself more idle than he'd like in the weeks following the coronation. Armed with an unshakable desire to do more for him, and countless lingering doubts, he revisits an old fascination, one he hopes will aid in the goal of bringing lasting peace. Yet, as he delves into this new project and solidifies his place within Will's dream for the country, he finds those old wounds cut deeper than he realized.
